Number Nine Reviews
This is and has been my favorite gay bar in DC for a long time. They’ve always had the best happy hour, and then it turns into the best scene in the evenings! The two floor layout makes it perfect regardless of what you’re looking for. Downstairs is a little quieter which allows for fun conversation. Upstairs is livelier with amazing music, which allows for more of a nightclub scene. Drinks are strong and bartenders are hot! Highly recommend!
Cool spot with one of my fav bartenders but needs more r&b. Especially on Sundays
I love that place great for dancing.

Number Nine is a stylish bar with a diverse clientele, offering a refreshing change from other local venues. The service is quick, even during busy nights, and the space is elegant and lounge-like, with a great selection of pop and 90s/2000s hip hop and R&B music. Staff members are generally friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere, although some guests have noted that the bartender's service can sometimes be disappointing.
Drink prices tend to be high, and there have been concerns about the quality of liquor served. Some guests suspect that lower-tier liquor is used despite ordering top-shelf brands, so it’s wise to be cautious when ordering drinks or consider pre-gaming before visiting. The music selection has also received criticism, with visitors wishing for a more diverse playlist to match the lively vibe of the place.
Despite these issues, many find the atmosphere enjoyable and appreciate the friendly staff. The outdoor seating is limited and can get crowded, but it remains one of the favorite spots in Logan Circle for those seeking a more upscale experience rather than a dive bar. Overall, Number Nine offers good service, excellent drinks, and a welcoming environment, making it a popular destination for both social and professional gatherings.
